    The 2026 Breakdown That Made Me Rebuild Myself and My Business

    Two and a half months ago, I had a breakdown bad enough that I had two choices: completely change how I was running my business, or quit. I chose to rebuild myself, and every facet of how I was running my business (boy was it hard). And this episode is me finally telling you what that actually looked like.  For years, I had been normalizing monthly breakdowns. Curled up on the bed, crying for hours, convinced I was a failure. Luke holding me together. I thought it was just the cost of running a business. It wasn't. It was life throwing boulders at me trying to get my attention. I had received about 20 too many before I finally listened. In this episode, I'm sharing the full story: how being the "good student" without trusting myself led me to build someone else's business, what my nervous system was doing even when I knew logically I was fine, and what the rebuild has actually looked like, including a 60% income increase that happened when I stopped pushing so hard. These patterns aren't just mine. The perfectionism, the all-or-nothing, the looking outside yourself for answers while ignoring your own signals. That's exactly what's showing up in your relationship with food too. This episode is for anyone who has been running on empty and calling it discipline. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    Why Can't I Stop Bingeing Even Though I Want To?

    You don’t need more willpower to stop bingeing. You don’t even need to want it “badly” enough. You need to uncover what the binges are DOING for you.  In this episode, I sit down with a member of my community, Melissa, for a deep coaching over coffee session about  binge eating, sugar cravings, and the pattern that keeps running no matter how much self-awareness she has. She knows what's happening. And it keeps happening anyway. We get into: Why you're not addicted to the food — you're addicted to the relief it gives youWhy you can eat balanced all morning and completely lose it by 4pm (this one will click something into place for you)Why trying to make a different choice in the moment almost never worksThe rehearsal technique that rewires your autopilot BEFORE you're in the triggerWhat it means to teach your body that discomfort is survivableThis conversation is for the woman who's tired of knowing better and still not doing better. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    Why the Way You've Been Taught to Build Habits Isn't Working for You w/ Monica Packer

    How many times have you started a habit, felt good about it, and then watched it fall apart the second life got in the way? And then blamed yourself for it? My guest today has spent 20 years studying exactly WHY that happens, and her answer is going to reframe the whole thing for you. Monica Packer is a certified habits and identity coach, host of the top-rated podcast About Progress, and author of the upcoming book Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last. She's also a 20-year eating disorder recovery warrior, which made this conversation feel SO real and grounded. The big idea: the habit advice we've all been handed was built by and for people whose lives look nothing like ours. And because of invisible labor, women have less time, less energy, more interruptions, and less predictability than the system assumes. It was never going to work. In this episode, you'll learn: What the "underachieving perfectionist" actually looks like (and if you're one without knowing it)Why standard consistency advice fails women, and how to redefine itThe ideal vs. baseline habit framework that makes you stop breaking habits for goodHow every tiny baseline action rewires your identityThe one belief Monica wants every woman to walk away holdingConnect With Monica Pre-order Monica's book: Sticky Habits at stickyhabitsbook.com Monica's podcast: About Progress — search it wherever you're listening right nowMonica's Instagram: @aboutprogress ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    3 Steps to Get Rid of the "Clean Your Plate" Mentality For Good

    You know you’re full. Your body it’s had enough. And yet something takes over and you finish the plate anyway. That's not a willpower problem. It's a pattern that got wired into your nervous system long before you were old enough to question it, so willpower was never going to be enough to touch it. In this episode, I'm walking you through 3 specific steps to actually rewire the "clean your plate" mentality for good — not just override it occasionally, but unlearn it at the level where it actually lives. We cover: Where this pattern comes from The specific mindsets driving the behavior now, including "getting my money's worth" and the scarcity belief that shows up even when food is plentifulWhy trying to change this in the moment almost never works, and what to do insteadHow to rehearse your way out of old patterns before you're in themIncluding the mindset shift that makes a big difference: your body is not a garbage can. This pattern can be unlearned. Even if it's been with you for decades. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    Why Part Of You Doesn't Actually Want Food Freedom

    You can want something with your WHOLE heart and still have a part of you working against it. I got back from my Sedona retreat a couple of days ago and I have been DYING to record this episode. Because what came out of that trip, I did not see coming. I thought I'd released all the resistance around my goal. I'd been doing the work every single day for months. And then I sat around a fire with my two business girlfriends and completely fell apart, because I realized that part of me had attached achieving this goal to losing everyone I love, ending up alone, and somehow having to go into hiding after a Reddit thread.  I am not kidding. That is where my subconscious had taken me. And if that sounds familiar, even a little? This episode is for you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why wanting a goal with everything you have doesn't mean all parts of you are on boardHow your subconscious quietly attaches your goals to worst-case scenariosThe "follow the thread" exercise for finding the hidden fear driving your food patternsWhy your nervous system finds failure more comfortable than successHow to do a "software update" so your goal finally feels safe to achieveIf you've been stuck longer than makes sense, this one's going to make things click for you. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    Healing From a 20-Year Undiagnosed Eating Disorder with Foster Wilson

    Eating disorders don't often look like what you might picture in your mind.  We often dismiss what we're going through or experiencing because we're not "too thin" or needing to be hospitalized.  But as you’ll hear in today’s episode, you don’t have to look sick to be struggling. I’m joined by Foster Wilson, a poet, postpartum doula, and podcast host whose work bridges creativity, care, and connection. After living with an undiagnosed eating disorder for over 20 years, Foster shares what it was really like to exist in the exhausting, all-consuming cycle of food noise, body shame, and perfectionism - all while appearing “fine” on the outside. Foster’s journey toward recovery began when she finally realized that her so-called “healthy habits” were actually keeping her trapped. Through intuitive eating, nervous system healing, and radical self-compassion, she learned to rebuild trust with her body and redefine what nourishment truly means.  In this episode, you'll learn: What it’s really like to live with a “hidden” eating disorderHow perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel food anxiety and controlWhy letting go of food rules feels terrifying — and why that’s a good thingHow nervous system safety and self-compassion support food freedomThe healing power of vulnerability, creativity, and communityIf you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re experiencing “counts” as disordered eating, or you’ve struggled to quiet the mental noise around food, this episode will remind you: you’re not broken, and it’s never too late to heal your relationship with food and your body.

    How I Eat While Traveling (Without Anxiety or Needing To "Getting Back on Track")

    If you've ever spent the weeks before a trip restricting, overexercising, and trying to "clean up" your eating — only to arrive and feel completely out of control around food — this episode is for you. I know what it's like when a vacation creates more food anxiety than genuine excitement. When you're stressing about it WEEKS before you leave, eat in a way that feels chaotic once you're there, and come home already planning how to compensate. The trip is supposed to be the good part. And it's just... exhausting. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I eat while traveling now — as someone who has genuinely healed her relationship with food. From travel days and nervous system regulation, to eating out without anxiety, to eating more than everyone at the table without making it mean anything. I also talk about how I handle coming home — and why "getting back on track" now looks a lot more like slowing down than compensating. This isn't a set of travel eating rules. It's a window into what's possible when food stops being the thing you have to manage, and just becomes… food. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

    She Went From Food & Exercise Obsessed (for 40 Years) to Eating With Complete Ease & Freedom — Stephanie's Story

    Stephanie had been navigating a complicated relationship with food and her body since she was 15.  On the outside, she had it “all together”. She was a teacher, a marathoner, an Ironman athlete - someone who got called disciplined and in control her whole life. For decades, she mostly convinced herself she was okay. But she wasn’t.  In this episode, Stephanie shares what four decades of disordered eating and compulsive exercise actually looked like - how it shifted shapes over the years, what finally pushed her to do something different, and what life is like now. She talks about the messy middle of healing: letting go of the habits that kept you safe before anything replaces them. About going out for pizza and wings with friends and just... eating. Focused on the conversation, not the food. And she talks about what she'd say to the woman who's been struggling so long she's quietly stopped believing it gets better. "I thought I was going to die with this," she says. She didn't. This one's for the woman who's starting to wonder if she will too. ✦Get first access to my brand new free mini- course: Decode Your Food Noise → sabrinamagnan.com/decode-podcast 📲 Come hang out over on instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
